Curriculum Vitae

Biography

Dr. Iraj Mamaghani earned his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Istanbul Technical University and continued graduate studies at Nagoya University, Japan, where he obtained both his Master of Science and Doctor of Engineering degrees in Structural Engineering. His graduate education was funded by distinguished scholarships from the Japanese government (Monbusho) as well as Nisho-Iwai and Tsurukame Corporations. His academic and research interests include steel structures, steel–concrete composite systems, and masonry structures, with a focus on advanced numerical and experimental methods in structural engineering. Through extensive national and international collaborations, he has contributed to numerous research projects that have resulted in significant advancements in the field.

After completing his doctoral studies, Dr. Mamaghani started his academic career in civil engineering at institutions in Japan, Canada, and the United States. He joined the University of North Dakota in 2002, where he is currently a faculty member in structural engineering. He began his academic career as an Assistant Professor in 1996 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2008. Dr. Mamaghani has taught a wide variety of undergraduate courses, including Mechanics of Materials, Structural Analysis, and Steel Design, as well as graduate courses like Structural Stability, Theory of Elasticity, Theory of Plasticity, Earthquake-Resistant Design of Structures, Advanced Steel Design, Behavior and Design of Steel–Concrete Composite Structures, and Advanced Numerical Analysis. His teaching demonstrates a strong dedication to blending theory with practical engineering applications.

Dr. Mamaghani’s research covers a wide range of structural engineering topics, including thin-walled cold-formed steel systems, performance-based earthquake engineering, constitutive modeling for cyclic plasticity of steel and confined concrete, development of fiber-reinforced high-performance self-consolidating concrete (FR-HP-SCC), high-energy-absorbing rock fence systems and rock shelters, and seismic design of liquid-filled steel storage tanks, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) systems. He has supervised many graduate students and published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and at conferences. He has also served on multiple M.S. and Ph.D. committees in Civil and Petroleum Engineering and has led or contributed to several externally funded research projects. Notably, he received funding from the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) for research on advanced concrete materials. Dr. Mamaghani is dedicated to mentoring graduate students and promoting high-quality research and publication outcomes.

In addition to his academic career, Dr. Mamaghani has extensive industry experience. From 1996 to 1999, he worked with Advanced Constructive Designing Ltd. in Kanazawa, Japan, where he managed the design, fabrication, and construction of high-energy rock fence systems and rock shelters using composite structural systems. This large-scale project, involving about 10,000 tons of structural steel and concrete, helped stabilize rock slopes along highways and high-speed rail lines in Japan. He later worked with NCK Engineering in Toronto, Canada (2000–2002), offering consulting services in structural engineering. Since joining the University of North Dakota, he has continued collaborating with the NDDOT on various applied research projects. His industry experience has greatly strengthened his academic work by linking theoretical research with real-world engineering applications.

Dr. Mamaghani remains committed to advancing structural engineering through innovative research, impactful teaching, and mentoring future engineers.
